I'm 5 months pregnant and have this really intense headache. I'm just wondering if I can take CYCLOPAM TAB? I'm 29, and I'm worried about if it's safe to use while I'm pregnant. Are there any side effects I should know about?

Cyclopam tablets contain a combination of paracetamol, dicyclomine, and dimethicone, and while paracetamol is generally considered safe during pregnancy, dicyclomine is not recommended due to potential risks of fetal harm

So, my boyfriend and I are kind of new to having sex, and last night we used a condom, but it broke. He's using those Trojan ultra thin ones. He hadnt ejaculated, only pre-cum, and he did go to the bathroom several times after his last ejaculation, so he wasnt too worried about any leftover semen. The condom broke right at the tip, and we quickly got a Plan B pill, but this is the third time weve relied on Plan B, though its our first time this year. Should we be worried about me possibly getting pregnant?

I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms and was hoping to get your advice. I took an ipill for the first time this past Sunday, and now I'm noticing rashes on my stomach and arms that are really itchy. Plus, my stomach feels pretty bloated. I've also been on some digestive medicine since last Friday. Could these things be related, or should I be worried about something else going on?
